mainlining shenanigans

Linus Torvalds f1517df870 This request is late, apologies.
But it's also a fairly small update this time around.  Some cleanup,
 RDMA fixes, overlayfs fixes, and a fix for an NFSv4 state bug.
 
 The bigger deal for nfsd this time around is Jeff Layton's
 already-merged i_version patches.  This series has a minor conflict with
 that one, and the resolution should be obvious.  (Stephen Rothwell has
 been carrying it in linux-next for what it's worth.)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
